Guest Book

Laura Nettleton Stark - Pitt Meadows, BC: Ann, sincere condolences to you and Larralyn in the loss of your Dad.  He was always such a special part of our growing up years -- more like one of us than one of the parents, with his goofy jokes and happy laughter.  I, like you, hope that he and my Dad are having the perfect golf game up there in heaven!!  Take care,  Laura & Mike

Freda Lautner - Weyburn, SK: We have fond memories of both your parents. He had a good life. Our sympathy to Ann and Larralyn. Freda and Barry Lautner

Mary Nettleton Read - Kelowna, BC: Your dad was a special man and I have very fond memories of him in many settings -- square and round dancing, camping, visiting, riding in parades...  We spent so much time at your place in TCTC, it was our "home away from home".  Our moms have been playing 'cut-throat Scrabble' for a few years now so our dads can now complete the picture with a game of golf (I won't say a good game) but there will be a good shot afterwards.  Alfie's Out...
Much Love, Mary & family.

Robert  and Corliss Okerstrom - Moose Jaw, SK: Thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.  Enjoy numerous years dancing with your parents.
